THIS IS THEIR BEST SONG! - Music Draft - Saturday Night's Alright for iFighting (1 Viewer)

Time for a favorite. Yo Mama selects:

8.32 - Beastie Boys - Shake Your Rump

Yeah there might be a few “better” songs by them, but this is my jam. 
 

I’m like Sam the Butcher bringing’ Alice the meat . . . One of the greatest lines in music history. 


 I think all you guys know I am not into rap, hip-hop, whatever - but though I don't listen to these guys - what cred

great sense of humor and rhythms  :hifive:

That was my intro to the beastie boys. Walking by my brothers bedroom and hear...

Shake. Your. Rum. PAAA!

 
@Dr_Zaiustwice and backatch Yo Mama

Also apricot of... I use a dubiously un-legal streaming service for most sports because the dude running it plays the best stuff on commercial and halftime breaks. He puts a headbanging cat meme on the screen and makes it the funnest part of watching some games. It's mostly edm euro dance whatever but the choices are always good. Anyway, he just hit halftime with something (not edm) that I chose from the start of this draft to be my final pick. Chose it for grins. Shake Your Rump is a perfect follow up. Music is just good for the soul. I don't want the 3rd quarter to start. :)

great choice, I like “No Sleep Till Brooklyn” and “So whatcha Want”

ETA - Beastie was on my running short list of about 10 names

8.01 Mouthful of Cavities, Blind Melon

One of the most underrated bands of their era, they somehow only had one commercial hit with No Rain.  All three of their albums have incredible music from top to bottom.  Unfortunately, lead singer Shannon Hoon died of a cocaine overdose in 1995.
Nice pick!  I think this, Walk, and Galaxie are my three favorites off of Soup.

 
Can't believe I'm up already!

Round 8.33 - Dead Kennedys - California Uber Alles

Tempted to go with Chemical Warfare for its manic intensity, but I think this is an overall better tune.  I have a co-worker who saw these guys play inside of a metal maintenance shed in the '80s.  I cannot imagine how loud that must have been.

My favorite band in ninth and tenth grade. Give me anything off of Plastic Surgery Disasters, actually. "Bleed For Me," "Government Flu," "Well-Paid Scientist," etc. 

 
You're a star-belly snitch, you suck like a leech
You want everyone to act like you
Kiss ### while you #####, so you can get rich
But your boss gets richer off you


Well, you'll work harder with a gun in your back
For a bowl of rice a day
Slave for soldiers till you starve
Then your head is skewered on a stake


 
8.32 - Beastie Boys - Shake Your Rump
"Root Down" might be my favorite, but Paul's as an album set the standard for sampling and pastiche sound collages. Just a legendary album. 

I'm rolling down the hill, snowballing, getting bigger
An explosion in the chamber, the hammer from the trigger
I seen him get stabbed, I watched the blood spill out
He had more cuts than my man Chuck Chillout…

Did you know that it's "star-bellied sneetch" after the Seussian creations? 

I'll bet you didn't. 

That's...one to grow on.

whoa. 

doesn't fit with my mix, but otherwise would be incredibly high on my list 

so glad these guys were taken this early

GIGANTIC group

I'm partial to Sabotage myself, although I think my favorite Beastie Boys line is in Intergalactic:

never let the beat...    ...ummmm   ...drop

Listened to a lot of Licenced to Ill with my friends while playing C64.

 
I know the only reason this band hasn’t been taken so far is that everyone thought they were selected in the first round. Another of my favorites, a surprise to none. . . I present to you:

9.02 - Rush - Freewill

My favorites are this, Xanadu, and Red Barchetta, but there’s plenty of other greats I could’ve selected.

wow, I have never gotten the Rush hate ...good dudes, great original music

I mean if you were around in the mid 70s - there wasn't a hint of "these guys suck" or "you're uncool if you like them"

please - Rush haters ...is it only Geddy Lee's voice?  (which I love), is it that nerds like Rush?? (which by the way - that was not an issue for years)

these guys just kicked ### for years and I really hate the Rush hate

It's mostly shtick, but also long fatiguing dated prog...

I think it was exactly like this.

 
Yet another "how are they still on the board?" pick

Round 9:

Eight Miles High -- The Byrds

This song did as much as any to usher in the psychedelic era. Roger McGuinn was listening to heavy doses of Indian ragas and the band grafted elements of those onto their signature sound. Minds were blown everywhere. The Byrds are another one of those "actually five bands in one" and produced incredible music throughout all their phases, but this stands as their crowning achievement. Live versions such as this one from the 1968-72 lineup featuring Clarence White were otherworldly. 

@Northern Voicecan make 2 picks whenever

@Chaos Commishup.

 
Okay, hard to go with this after Dead Kennedy's, Rush, Beasties, etal, but let's calm down a bit. 

Love London Grammar. Most of their stuff is a stretch for my playlist, but the current release is perfect. They go triphop with a great insipid on vocals. I might have a crush. The title track is very teardroppy. Not tear inducing, Teardrop the Massive Attack bit.

9.7 London Grammar - Californian Soil

I link you to a live version that's better than the studio version. Man, I want to see them live.

Also a strong live performance with an orchestra that may be better to some but not quite the seemless playlist fit of my choice...

Lord

@Dr. Octopus
